Mid-autumn festival is one of my favorite festivals, especially when I was young, we all went to grandama's house, played games with brothers and sisters at the courtyard, our parents busied to prepare dinner, we ate sweet moon cakes together under the moonlight , very pleasant memory!
Wonderful memory with families!
There is a live tonight at 8
Wonderful story my favorite festival I love mooncake
Sameeeee
Nice!!!
Is it weird that i want to celebrate this even though im not chinese? It's just so pretty with all the cakes and lanterns and even the story, and i really like that you share a big meal with loved ones.
That's ture! Fesitival always means family reunion, it remind us to cherish our time with families and friends.
I celebrate a lot of Chinese Festivals just because I enjoy them!
You guys are weird 😂
As a Chinese, I am so glad that you like our traditional culture😊 yes you definitely can celebrate it even if you are not Chinese! This is also what I hope, that is, more and more people like and celebrate our traditional culture.
I've typed a transcript of the video. Hope it will help teachers who want to share this video with their students:
As the legend goes...In the distant past, there was a beautiful woman called Chang'e. Her husband Hou Yi was a brilliant archer. At that time, there were ten suns in the sky. And the people on earth were living in the blistering heat. To save the earth, Hou Yi used his bow and arrow to shoot down nine of the suns.
Hou Yi was respected as the national hero and receive an elixir of immortality as a reward for saving the people from the heat of multiple suns. However, the elixir had only enough for one person, and both of them didn't want to leave each other.
But one day, one of Hou Yi's students tried to seize the elixir when he wasn't at home. In order to protect the elixir from thieves, Chang'e took the magic elixir of immortality. Then she flew to the moon and became the moon goddess, leaving her husband behind.
Alone on earth, Hou Yi missed his wife so much that he made an offering to the moon and tried to find the shape of Chang'e in the moon.
To remember Chang'e, Chinese people worship the moon by eating fruits and moon-shaped desserts called mooncakes.
This is the legend of the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also called the "the Moon Festival"
Nowadays, the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also a harvest festival has become a family holiday like Thanksgiving.
Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by having a large dinner with family, worshiping the moon with gifts, traveling, viewing lanterns shows, eating various desserts and releasing flying lanterns to pray for their happiness and happiness of their families.

@@chinahighlights1 what pet Chang e have?
@@keishareginahoestiawan5834 Chang'e's pet is "Jade Rabbit", not a rabbit made of jade. The real meaning of "Jade Rabbit" is: a cute little rabbit like pure white jade
My Chinese teacher showed this video to us and I'm so excited for the Mid Autumn Festival 🤩
my teacher just showed it to me now Lol
I like that rabbit....so innocent....
The rabbit is cute, right?
I also have a rabbit and he is soo damm cute

The story of Houyi and Chang’e is one of the world’s greatest mythologies. In full, it is easily comparable with anything from Greek or Rome.

Hi, i really love your video about Chinese Mid-autumn festival. It is both beautiful and educational. Since the Mid-autumn festival is coming, I was wondering if it's okay to do screenshots from your video and make it into a powerpoint story? It will only be showed to my elementary school students in class. (and of course I'll put this video link and and your channel link at the end of the story as attributes )
Yes, go ahead.
Hello, thank you for sharing. This is amazing! Was wondering can I share this video at an internal corporate event presenting Moon-Festival? Do I have your permission to do so? Thank you so much!
I just found this video and I have a feeling it’s what Tony watched 😆
Who is Tony:)?
Others:its mid autumn festival , let's eat mooncakes!!!
Me : its Harvest festival!!! Let's Harvest some farmable trees!!!!
Guess what game i play
I have to teach my class about the moon festival because my teacher forgot about and I am the only person that knows the moon festival the most and you forget about the jade rabbit
Like it 🙂 👍 ✨️ 💓
An interesting Mid Autumn Festival story.
Thank you! Wish you and your family a happy Mid-Autumn Festival
Today we learn this at school at lote hi everyone
chang e is the lady in the moon
I learned about this from Netflix's "over the moon" movie
That's good!
@@chinahighlights1 it's a great movie
whats the different between the mid autumn festival and lunar new year also what is the 8 of the lunar month? im young ish and 25% chinese learning about my culture im a little confused
I heared this in the movie called over the moon and there is chang'e there
Yes!
Good sharing
Thanks for liking
*Is it wrong that I first heard about the mooncake from babybus?*
My wife turned into the moon.
That’s rough buddy.
Solid Avatar reference...
explain and demonstrate it doc
Yeah this is a movie now...
Over the Moon?
The background music is so good, can I get the name of it, please?
hey go out look up and see if any blue light bolt you ever seen before have or able to produce any blue light looking and feeing exactly as a moon does close or from afar
Moon cakes are soo soo soo delicious
I’ve heard of this story before over the moon movie came
An amazing story, right?
Chang'e had archer husband who shot down 9 suns to save earth. He was then given the elixir of immortality as a reward. Neither he nor Chang'e wanted to consume it because they wanted to stay together. A thief came and threatened Chang'e which forced her to consume to elixir transforming her into the mood goddess. Hou'yi made offerings to the moon in an attempt to see her once again.
can I copy your video
my chinise teacher showed me this...
I got homework to do so I watched this video
Good to know that it helps!
Okay, I searched through goggle on who the moon goddess of Malaysia is and it gave me that the people of Malaysia and Singaporean Chinese celebrate Chang'E. Can anyone help a girl here? I need it for research purposes
Who is watching this on 2020?
me
I'm Indian
I don't know why I like Chinese
Me
meeeeee
Now 2023
This reminds me of sokka and yue
0:59 what's up with the dramatic pause? I thought the video froze... That was a weird transition
good
Thanks!
So much info missing from this video. Would like to see a longer more in-depth version that takes into account the different versions of the same story
Noted! thank your for your comment.
Quick question.
Is Chang'e watching?
Interesting story. Why Houyi didn't shoot down ten suns?
It's just a legends of the mid-autumn festival, read more Mid-Autumn Festival stories at here: bit.ly/2lWVXsR
Because then there will be no day only night
Because all life would've perished and Earth would've become a barren frozen desert like Mars?
Chang e became moon goddess?
She just take moon as her resident.
@@chinahighlights1 why Chang e flew to the moon?
Hi, may I reuse this video to be added to one of my videos on my channel?🙏 I would give credit to you in my video and in the description. Thank you in advance!😊
